Details
USB-Storage is the term for USB-connected Mass Storage space, like:
- USB-Stick (flash memory)
- USB harddisk
- USB SSD
FRITZ!OS
USB-Storage extends the NAS space and is supported by all models with an USB-Host port, see CONFIG_USB_STORAGE.
Since fw 3.63 FRITZ!OS uses the usb-storage.ko driver, which depends on scsi_mod.ko and usbcore.ko.
This module is loaded by modprobe in the storage hotplug script.
USB-Storage is attached to the system as a block device (ie. /dev/sda), which can have a partition table.
Each mountable partition (ie. /dev/sda1) then is mounted to a subfolder of the NAS-root /var/media/ftp.
Which partitions are mountable depends on the Linux-Filesystems a firmware supports:
vfat- vfat.ko - fw 3.63+ext2- ext2.ko - fw 4.14+ext3- ext3.ko - fw 4.85+ext4- ext4.ko - fw 6.20+fuse- fuse.ko / ntfs-3g - fw 4.63+ - ntfsantfs- antfs.ko - fw 6.98+ - ntfsexfat- exfat.ko - fw 7.39+
The Webinterface manages USB-Storage in the usbdevices ui-module which is maintained by the ctlmgr plugin libctlusb.so.
